v0.9.0

0.9.0 - 2025-05-07

Added

• Magical Witches support ("MW"), with ^^ for XOR byte checksum
• Experimental Xros Loader support ("!XL")

Changed

• Renamed DigiROM send/receive to next/store to match Arduino (breaking change to API)
• Renamed prongs low/high to active/idle to match Arduino (generally internal)
• Reorganized communicators (breaking change to API if you were using those directly)
• Controller only keeps one communicator existing at a time
• Communicators delete params when disabled

Fixed

• Adjusted Xros Mini timing

Tested with

• CircuitPython 9.2.7

v0.8.0

Added

• High-level DigiROM API for DMOG
• Version info with "i" following the pattern decided in other DMComm variants
• Pause command with "P"

Changed

• Results of parse_command:
  • "?" changed to "I"
  • new "P" for "pause"
  • removed "D"
  • turn now considered to exist if the first text segment ends with a digit
  • Added signal_type = None to OtherCommand for easier distinguishing from DigiROMs
  • Removed param from OtherCommand
• Copied board_config.py from wificom-lib v1.1.0 for easier switching between dmcomm and wificom
• boot.py now reads button pin from board_config.py
• Rewrote DL/FL/LT receiving to count pulse+gap duration, rather than pulses and gaps separately - improves the situation for non-Vishay TSOP4838
• Rewrote example for high-level DigiROM API
• Deinit weak pull when prongs are disabled (caused issues combined with past "disable after every transmission" behaviour, but OK now)
• Separated DMC logic - ProngCommunicator became ClassicCommunicator and ColorCommunicator - ClassicCommunicator follows program flow from before DMC was added
• IR barcodes changed from 100% duty cycle to 15/16 so that IrDA modules will allow them

Removed

• Data serial option
• Workaround for PIO bug in CircuitPython 8.0.0 alpha versions

Tested with

• CircuitPython 8.2.2

v0.7.0

Added

• Calculation features in sequence DigiROMs:
  • Normal checksum using "++", or "++++" for DMC
  • Normal mirroring using "__", or "____" for DMC
  • Data Link ID shift using ">>"
  • Data Link checksum calculation using "+?"

Changed

• Major reorganization of DigiROM API (but parse_command API is unchanged)
• Files have moved around so recommend deleting old lib/dmcomm folder before upgrading
• Finalized Data Link - removed "!" - bytes are reversed from "!" version, utils/byte_reverse.py can fix existing Data Link byte sequences in text files
• Finalized Fusion Loader - removed "!!" with no changes

Tested with

• CircuitPython 8.0.5

v0.6.0

Added

• Basic support for Digimon Color

Changed

• Changed ending of serial output lines from "\n" to "\r\n" to match Arduino
• Fixed serial UnicodeError
• boot.py changes:
  • added Pico W button support
  • disabled status bar
  • made CIRCUITPY drive read-only by default instead of disabling
  • more informative messages (visible in boot_out.txt)
• Relaxed timings for Data Link and English DMOG

v0.5.0

Added

• Default Pi Pico W pins in board_config (same as Pico except LED)
• Configurable led_pin in board_config

v0.4.0

Added

• Version check over serial
• More informative messages about iC decoding errors

Changed

• Changed recommended prong_in on Pi Pico from GP26 to GP22
• Renamed physical and protocol attributes to signal_type - major breaking change to API (most API users will have been using digirom.physical)
• Moved ic_encoding module from hardware to protocol subpackage
• Fixed iC escape sequence where 0x7D is encoded as 0x7D, 0x5D
• Ensured prong weak pull and input logic level are updated when changing prong type
• Implemented prong invert_bit_read to give correct results for Xros Mini
• Relaxed "V" bit timing to account for D3USv1
• Relaxed Talis start bit timing to see if this works around the reliability issue

Removed

• realtime module and example - moved to WiFiCom and has since been updated

Tested with

• CircuitPython 8.0.2

v0.3.0

First release.
